Look, I have many hobbies and interests. Same as you. I'd love nothing better than pursue them all day, every day.
But there's a genocide going on. And despite the talk of a supposed ceasefire that conveniently/suspiciously happened just before the Nobel Peace Price was awarded (so that the narcissist Trump can get the same coveted award as Obama), the ceasefire was a farce and the genocide is still ongoing.
Look, I'd love nothing better than spending my evenings playing the piano after 9+ hours at the office.
I'd love nothing better than also practicing the guitar.
Since I don't learn new computer skills at my day job anymore, I'd love nothing more than spend my evenings learning new computer stuff.
I won't surrender reading books, but I'm neglecting my body, since I don't make sufficient time for sports or going to the sauna anymore, due to limited time.
I don't cook so often anymore as I used to.
There's hundreds of more stuff I'd like to do, but instead I spend every day chatting with genocide victims to give them emotional and financial support. If you could've had a direct line to Anne Frank while she was hiding in that attic, would you have turned away?
Since an entire population of 2 million people is genocided, and humans cannot have more than 150 close connections, wanting to help everyone who approaches me in public or in private is becoming more and more overwhelming.
But while others haven't uttered the words "#Palestine" or "#Gaza" or "#genocide" even just once during the past two years, and turn away… I won't do that. While others ignorantly just talk about the latest news in software engineering, or about their own app, or even just the latest tech gadgets, I won't ignore a genocide just so that I may focus on my hobbies (of which there would be many).
Palestinians are starting to notice a drop in their donations. Many are writing they haven't received a single donation in three days. They're asking if we grew tired of them.
I am starting to notice a drop in engagement with my posts. Is anybody even reading anymore? Or have you become tired of being asked for money every day? Like this post to show you still read me. And ideally follow up by donating to one of the genocide victims I boosted today.

Carissimo, anch'io ho notato un calo nelle donazioni, ma credo e spero sia solo un momento, so che la loro situazione è ancora (purtroppo) terribile.
Domani è il compleanno di Mohammed Shobair, il ragazzo che seguo da un po' di tempo, farò una donazione e gli manderò un bel biglietto di auguri che ho già preparato più un video di speranza.
Se ognuno di noi si facesse carico di una famiglia sarebbe una cosa bellissima.
Ti apprezzo, hai tutto il mio rispetto. E ti abbraccio anche 🫠 -

@xgranade @mcc the original Electronika 60 it was written on was a PDP-11 clone with 16-bit CPU and 8k of RAM. Which isn't all that far off from the power of a Gameboy (8-bit CPU with 8K of RAM, though no floating point, I would assume). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektronika_60

@mcc Presumably a Cold War–era Russian radar station?

I was going to pose the question:
- What is the simplest piece of computer hardware that can run an enjoyable game of Tetris
but… it actually might be the Game Boy

@sennoma @NickGates @StevenSavage you don't want to drive a long commute there, but if there's a transit option (Caltrain is great), it's not intolerable to be a pretty good ways out from the job. Train time can be useful/pleasant time, unlike driving during rush hour which is all wasted time and stressful.

@sennoma you'll never own a house at that salary, but you can live OK, as long as you don't mind a bit of a commute (hopefully you can rent and work near a Caltrain stop).

3D Printering: Liquid-Filled Filament Was Not On Our Bingo Card
[Prusa] have a number of announcements, and one of the more unusual ones is that liquid printing is coming to the Prusa XL. Specifically, printing in real, heat-resistant silicone (not a silicone-like plastic) is made possible thanks to special filament and a special toolhead. It’s the result of a partnership with Filament2, and the same process could even be used to print with other liquids, including chocolate.
Look closely and you will see the detail in the nozzle, which mixes the two-part formula.
The process is as unusual as it is clever. The silicone is a two-part formula, but there is no reservoir or pump involved. Instead, there are two filaments, A and B. When mixed, they cure into solid silicone.What is unusual is that these filaments have a liquid core. Upon entering the extruder, the outer sheath is cut away, and the inner liquid feeds into a mini mixing nozzle. The nozzle deposits the mixed silicone onto the print, where it cures. It isn’t clear from the demo where the stripped outer casing goes, but we assume it must get discarded or is possibly stowed temporarily until it can be removed.
Liquid-core filament is something we certainly didn’t have on our bingo card, but we can see how it makes sense. A filament format means the material can be handled, fed, and deposited precisely, benefiting from all of the usual things a filament-based printer is good at doing.
What’s also interesting is that the liquid toolhead can co-exist with other toolheads on the XL; in fact, they make a point of being able to extrude silicone as well as the usual thermoplastics into the same print. That’s certainly a trick no one else has been able to pull off.
There are a few other announcements as well, including a larger version of their Core One printer and an open-source smart spool standard called OpenPrintTag, a reusable and reprogrammable NFC insert for filament spools that gives you all of the convenience of automating color and material reading without the subtle (or overt) vendor lock-in that comes with it.
Watch a demo of the new silicone extruder in the video, embedded just under the page break. The new toolhead will be 1,009 USD when it launches in early 2026.
